Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters expect Marissa.
Within the next day Jake had a bruise showing up. He looked at himself in the mirror and remembered Kevin. He thought about Marissa and how she was going to move in with him if things were wrong in her family. He decided to give her a call.
"Hello?" Marissa said.
"Hey Marissa it's Jake."
"Oh hey, are you okay?"
"I'll live, but what about you? Are your parents still going crazy?"
"Yeah, we just had dinner and they walked out of the room arguing while I finished my dinner."
"Sounds bad, but hey do you remember my offer?"
"To move in with you and your friends?"
"Yes, that one, are you in?"
"I'm in," Marissa said as she got out her suitcase. It was already packed. "I've had my suitcase packed since you first offered. When can I meet you?"
"Now if you would like," Jake said. "I'll be at your house soon."
"Okay," Marissa said. "But you might have to teleport fast because I might have trouble sneaking out."
"Not a problem, see you soon," Jake said as hung up and teleported in front of Marissa's house.
Sneaking out of the house wasn't as tough as Marissa thought it would be. She slipped out of the house with ease. As she walked out to meet Jake she wondered how long it would be until someone noticed she was gone.
"Everything okay?" Jake said as Marissa hugged him.
"Yes, just go," Marissa said. Jake teleported them to a site Marissa would never forget.
Marissa looked at the messy flat. She was guessing that there were no other girls living in the shared flat. But if there was they weren't very clean. Marissa couldn't tell what part of town she was at. When Jake was picked up at the bus they didn't stop by this place, they stopped somewhere on the corner and Marissa wouldn't have seen this place if she wasn't going to live there.
"Welcome to your new home," Jake said. "There are only a couple of us here. 3 girls, 3 guys including us." Marissa was right there were girls there, but they weren't very clean. Jake opened the door. There in front of Marissa sat 2 girls and 2 guys sitting down eating dinner.
"Would you like something to eat?" one girl asked. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. She had a slight tan and reminded Marissa of Barbie.
"I just ate," Marissa said. Apparently Jake had told everyone about Marissa.
"Pardon me," Jake said. "Marissa this is Danielle," Jake pointed to Ms. Barbie.
"Hi," Marissa said as she stuck her hand out.
"Hello," Danielle said as she shook Marissa's hand.
"This is Dylan and Andrew," Jake said as he pointed out the tow boys. Dylan was your average Joe. He had blonde hair with brown highlights. His long hair covered his green eyes. Andrew looked older than the others. He had a strong build like a body builder. His jet black hair reached to his chin and his black eyes flickered with the light.
"Nice to meet you," Marissa said as she shook their hands.
"Last but not least my older sister, Amanda," Jake said as he hugged the last girl. Amanda looked a lot like Jake. She had brown hair that reached just below her shoulders and dark eyes. She looked around Andrew's age.
"Nice to meet you," Amanda said beating Marissa to the shake.
"Nice to meet you too," Marissa laughed as she saw the look on Amanda's face. Amanda blushed and looked over to Andrew. They locked eyes as did Danielle and Dylan. Marissa sighed and laid her head on Jake's shoulder. This was the love shack all right, yes it was.
